I can't help it cause you're cryin' over timeSo don't blame me if you're about to lose your mindThere's no place left in my heart for you to hide

Once I tried so hard to love you once I triedOnce I tried to be the girl you wanted me to beOnce I tried to make you happy but you wanted to be freeNow I know my heart will never ever let you back insideOnce I tried so hard to love you once I tried

I put new locks on all my doors todayCause I heard the you were coming back this waySince your new love found the better ways to flyYou think I love you like I loved you when I tried

Once I tried to be the girl...Once I tried so hard to love you once I tried
